"One day at a time--this is enough. Do not look back and grieve over the past for it is gone; and do not be troubled about the future, for it has not yet come. Live in the present, and make it so beautiful it will be worth remembering."

Recently, two sweet blogging friends passed some lovely blog awards my way. I feel so badly that I am just now getting them posted, but my life over the past few weeks has been filled with many things that had to be done before I could blog again.

* I am the one at the end of many jokes that hasto say, "I didn't get it", but I love laughing.

* To this day, I still tear up watching old episodesof Little House on the Prairie! Crazy huh?

* When given the opportunity, I can spend hoursin a bookstore or coffee shop with a chai, journal and books in hand. I will always love learning new things.
* If I had a do over, I would go to college to becomea counselor/ therapist.

* Music is like a second language to me. To me ithelps make the world a so much better place. I hope to always keep a song in my heart. In my family, we all sang growing up. I'vealways wished I could play a violin or a guitar.

* I met my hubby at a blood bank where we bothwent to donate blood 35 yrs. ago. My car brokedown that day and he gave me a lift back to my work. I don't think we missed a weekend of seeingeach other from that day on.

I am so sorry that I haven't been able to get a post up since coming back from vacationing last week.It seems there have been so many things I've needed to attend to first before posting and my time has been so limited.

Here is a quickie something for you, that a friendsent to me. I loved it and I hope you will too.

FOOTPRINTS......A new version (author unknown)

Imagine you and the Lord Jesus are walking down the road together.

For much of the way, the Lord's footprint go along steadily,consistently, rarely varying the pace.

But your footprints are a disorganized stream of zigzags, starts, stops, turnarounds, circles, departures, and returns.

For much of the way, it seems to go like this, but gradually your footprints come more in line with the Lord's, soon paralleling, His consistently.

You and Jesus are walking as true friends!

This seems perfect, but then an interesting thing happens: Your footprints that once etched the sand next to Jesus now walking precisely in His steps.

Inside His larger footprints are your smaller ones, you and Jesus are becoming one.

This goes on for many miles, but gradually you notice another change..

The footprints inside the large footprints seem to grow larger.

Eventually they disappear altogether.

There is only one set of footprints. They have become one.

This goes on for a long time, but suddenly the

second set of footprints is back.

This time it seems even worse! Zigzags all over the place. Stops. Starts. Gashes in the sand. A variable mess of prints.

You are amazed and shocked.

Your dream ends. Now you pray:

"Lord, I understand the first scene, with zigzags and fits. I was a new Christian. I was just learning.

But You walked on through the storm and helped me learn to walk with You."

"That is correct..."

"And when the smaller footprints were inside of Yours, I was actually learning to walk in Your steps, following You very closely."

"Very good.... You have understood everything so far."

"When the smaller footprints grew and filled in Yours,I suppose that I was becoming like You in every way."

"Precisely."

"So, Lord, was there a regression or something?

The footprints separated, and this time it was worse than at first."

There is a pause as the Lord answers, with a smile in His voice...

"You didn't know?

It was then that we danced!"

"He turns our mourning into dancing!"

Psalms 30:11

Begin to dance with the best dancer of all time.He will take the lead.

I would love to hear from you! Find my POST A COMMENT BUTTON at the bottom of each day's post.
